^ Amarok. Oldfield goes a bit 'mad' TB is a tad overrated and he improved the formula with the next 3 imo

^^ I only know "Hatfield and the North". Although I do enjoy this album, I also think the album is a bit too silly for my tastes.
or These are the two top ranking VdGG albums in PA. They are also somewhat different sounding albums by the classic lineup. My preference is definitely "Pawn Hearts" and the earlier albums. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ Thanks, I favour Radiohead's Kid A and the following, Amnesiac is a particular favourite of mine. I love both of those Hatfield and the North albums (both are stone cold classics), but I want to give some one else a chance. Actually, all of these have been great selections for my tastes.

^You are all over the place Logan and I like that That said, I much prefer Kid A to Computer - I would listen to Computer nonstop 5 or so years ago until Kid A came into my world and threw everything I knew out the window. If Prog Electronica was a genre, Kid A would be the cornerstone. Strangely enough, I have not encountered much music in that similar vein all these years; I much prefer Radiohead post-2000. I guess, their later work and some instrumental hip-hop come close. ______________ or |

^^ I understood whay people commonly loathe the terms overrated and underrated, yet I do consider Vangelis' Beaubourg commonly to be underrated. That said, I choose Spiral.

^ Seriously, that was the first or second pairing I thought about doing, but decided to start more old-school. Love both, and it is hard to choose. Depends on the day, today I go with Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! over F♯A♯∞. Both are five star albums to me, and serious "modern" (1997 and 2000) classics.

Love both but give the nod to The Seer. It was my first Swan's album that took my attention. Or |

^ Hoping someone else would try it. I feel comfortable saying that Soft Machine is one of THE greatest bands, and I chose Fourth over Fifth. My traditional favourites from ST are Third and Second. Brilliant band.
While I commonly would go for The Glowing Man and To be Kind as my modern dynamic Swans duo, I feel like going for these two sequential albums. or |

Anybody wanna bounce and give their choice between fourth or fifth? I pick fourth, it's my favorite work of theirs. It capitalizes on the best aspects of third and doesn't let up its jazz credentials for a minute! Fifth was always a struggle for me; it feels conceptually disjointed (due to band dynamics during recording) while going into the avant-garde at times while trying to maintain the "blaring" sax sound of 4. Drop and All White are worth it alone. The band did not lose me completely until post-Softs despite me being less keen on their progression starting at Six and going forward.

^^ Same. And now that I think more competently about it, I should have gone with Wind and Wuthering (I was going to and then second guessed myself).
^ I thought about doing the same KC combo. Love both, but going with Red --------------------- or Edited by Logan - October 11 2024 at 18:33 |

^ Ege for me: much more fluid and consistent (some great melodic moments to boot)
